SEO

How do you believe Social Media is changing web searching?

Content posted on social media sites can end up in general internet search results. This fact has not gone unnoticed by the ad agencies and retailers, as they have now found a new place to market themselves. As their efforts and presence on the social sites creates web activity that the search engines don't ignore, they create the appearance of a larger interwoven web presence in related searches.

What Social Media sources do you think would be appropriate to promote a web site?

YouTube is exploitable for this purpose. If you post useful videos that end with 10 seconds of promotion pointing to your web site, you are likely to drive users there. I can see how people could exploit facebook and twitter by posting a website. And I don't think that is inappropriate, as the people reading the post have freewill to click the link, or "de-friend" you if they have a problem with your promotion tactics.
(Hey - no harm, they're not your REAL friends anyways - just virtual.)

What is your opinion regarding social media influencing web search results?

If it becomes a noticeable problem, I trust the search engine gurus will take notice and filter results to give the searchers what they are expecting. Ethics in the advertising world flex with whatever people will tolerate. Also, I am sure as with any corporation, a search engine company's decision on this topic will be influenced by their corporate relationship with the social media site.

Please provide one additional resource to support your opinion.

This link goes to a Dec 2010 article on "searchengineland.com". They interview Google and Bing to discuss how their search results are influenced by postings on facebook and twitter. What I read between the lines, is that it's not considered a problem, and that the mindset is that these sites are part of the internet landscape, and therefore will continue to influence the search engines.

FINAL BLOG QUESTIONS ANSWERED

A.) my target audience is families to young adults looking to purchase a pet for them and their families. The design choices that I chose was a dark background a lighter style heading with black text upon the light heading along with monotone like colors such as white gray and black for easy overall look and feel

b.) Experienced some troubleshooting when I had to deal with the table once again also I had to deal with the problem with the OL and UL sharing LI tags and yet having different CSS values for each.

C.) the images contributed to my website by adding both a humorous and emotional response to human feelings by applying its two people sympathy for animals in need by using pictures of cats that seem to need a good home. My CSS style deed at my site and is by giving a nice soft look to the overall website was creating a more natural feel to the website in the business style of wanting to help animals as a business

D.) I changed the heading top piece of the table to match the same style as the heading tags and increase the font size making it more easy to read for the elderly and those who cannot read smaller text.

E.) the media contributed to my website because I chose a piece that talks about adopting at the events are happening in real time and the anyone can join and choose to bring a new family member home with them which is the point of this website. Adobe flash player would be the main plug-in that someone would need to be able to play this media.

F.) my validation experience actually went pretty well I didn't seem to occur very many validation errors mainly due to useful reusable code in good best practices.

G.) integrating ST oh best practices was very interesting and loudly be a go and see the use for meta-tags but not only this but also to see how useful keywords are truly for search engines and much more.

G.I)

a.) By the use of keywords and using Google ad-words defines select keywords such as "the right pet" I have used these to create good select keywords that people will use inside of search engines increasing my overall chance for people to see my website.

b.) By using SCO meta- tag is allowed me to index my web pages would allow me to be able to create a more effective overall looking web-page.

c.) By the use of links this will increase my usability to my visitors that see my web-page making easier to navigate and more likely for them to remain on my web-page increasing my stickiness as it says in the book.

d.) The contents I've placed inside my web-pages are filled with a congruent theme to help pets in need of a home in need of adoption to get them off the streets.

e.) My style hierarchy using as SEO has allowed my web-page to be more efficient looking at overall more usable to my visitors making it look professional and more like a business is that of a simple civilian website.


H.) my browser lab experience was rather interesting I do believe that I will continue to use it mainly due because the fact I'm unable to see any competitors doing the exact same style of side-by-side display like this also I find it's a valuable resource to see what functions and what doesn't. It was very nice to be able to see the differences in advantages and disadvantages in different styles of coding within different styles of Internet browsers.

I.) after performing all the test requirements list was requested of me on this assignment I have to say that I find it very reassuring that they have a strict code the webpages should be kept to for good re-usability for future websites and more I also like that the accessibility testers help you to be able to learn what it is you need to put on your website to help those who are disabled to be one of fully experience your website to the best of your ability to code.

Accessibility testing

the first link I chose was the link to Google as a means to help others find my website and also to give Google credit in helping others to find my web page thus having a two fold effect to make Google more accepting of my website onto there linked pages ( of course i would need Google's permission for this but I'm quite confident they would accept once i spoke with them over it )

The second link i chose was to w3schools to help theirs to learn how to build there own website and to also give w3schools credit for helping me to build there website this will inspire competition and increase economy between my company and others also will increase w3schools over all influx of people again making it so they are happy with me (again after i request for then to allow me to do so )


Usability overview

Designed my website to enhance user experience by highlighting all the links with a bright background for easy accessibility and maneuverability through the web-pages I also highlighted around each pitcher with a border color picture that was bright yet also monotone so not to make people want to leave the websites due to the color I included some humorous pictures to invoke emotion within the website and also to increase likeliness that people want to purchase a very cute cats or give them the idea that they are going to purchase a cute cats like ones on the pictures I included a very extensive gallery with very nice pictures and borders around them give each one a crystal-clear look and feel making it look professional.

Chrome 8.0-windows

Firefox-OS X

I explorer 8.0 windows

ii.) some of the wording was bigger then others but over all was pretty much exactly the same

iii.) adjusted some of the text to make it seem more alike one another

a. In what way did your table display data easier for your users to view?
It made it easier to show off my pictures.
b. What style choices did you make to improve the readability of your table?
It looks a bit like like the rest of the page, but sticks out a bit.
c. How did the media you created contribute to the purpose of your website? What plug-ins does the end user need to display-play?
I used a song and you need wav to get home.
d. Add a link to your web site within your blog postingBlah

Midterm Part 3: Andrew Vernon

A) My table summarizes my bum beer ratings so it is easier for the viewer to read in case they don't want to read through the text.

B) I made it look nice by adding color to the headings and separating the columns and rows with a border. I prefer the border collapsed; it's easier to read.

C) I used YouTube media which needs a Flash plug in. The video is meant to set an example to be careful with high gravity bum beers. It's hilarious!

D) Link

Midterm Part 3

a. In what way did your table display data easier for your users to view?
The table definitely helped to organize my signs by element and made it easier and more appealing to view than my previous bullet list. It also prompted me to add more information because I had more space and an easier way to organize as opposed to worrying about too much scrolling for the user.

b. What style choices did you make to improve the readability of your table?
I chose a different background color for my tag to really make the titles for each column stand out as well as using a bit of a larger font and dark borders to help define the cells.

c. How did the media you created contribute to the purpose of your website? What plug-ins does the end user need to display-play?
The media that I added was an instructional video on how to draft your own birth chart. I think it would be helpful to users who wanted to learn how to do this for themselves as opposed to going to a website and have a computer generate it for them. Since it's a youtube video, I'm pretty sure the only plug-in the user would need would be adobe flash.

d. Add a link to your web site within your blog.
My Website

a) In what way did your table display data easier for your users to view?

b) What style did you make to improve the readability of your table?

I added some background color and also extra padding on all sides.

c)How did the media you created contribute to the purpose of your website? What plug-ins does the end user need to display-play?

I have some challenges on choosing a media for my website, but I found this media called Primavera which is the same name of my website.
